A HUGE FLOWER

Sometimes the person we love doesn't love us.

Maybe it's because they swore never to love again some time ago, maybe they still haven't healed the heart wound they received long ago, maybe they closed themselves off to love and affection a long time ago, maybe they've just forgotten love, maybe they don't find us beautiful, maybe at that moment they loved someone else, or maybe they just don't love us...

Whatever the reasons may be, the result remains the same.

We haven't found a place in that person's heart, even though we've placed them in our own.

This is the truth.

As Kemal Sayar says, "Let the truth hurt you, rather than living with the comfort of a lie";

It is the greatest kindness you can do to yourself to face the reality of your situation, to digest it, even if it costs you heartache, instead of living in the consolation of a false relationship.

This is your respect for yourself and the value you place on yourself.

Don’t try to make something out of 'nothing'.

If you are going through such a time, remember the lines from İlhan İrem's song "Dev Bir Çiçek" ("A Huge Flower").

"And now, seeing only your own particles made of love,The ones built from lovelessness,Fighting against each other,That huge flower is crying and crying,Waiting for the day it will laugh."

While it is said that the entire universe is created from love, don't condemn yourself to a life without love.

Don't make that huge flower cry, and don't let the soul that is a part of that huge flower wither from lovelessness in this life.

A person can only bloom in 'Love'.

A person can only disappear in 'Love'.
